Impact of land use change on soil erodibility by F. Taleshian Jeloudar, M. Ghajar Sepanlou, M. Emadi

“…In rangeland, the K-factor (0.045 Mg h/MJ/mm) was significantly higher and the particle size distribution had a great impact on the K-factor. The orchard land use, converted from the rangeland, did not show any increase of soils erodibility and can potentially be introduced as a good alternative land use in sloping areas. …”
